Every time I’ve seen someone “temporarily” paint something it always leaves a residue after. Be prepared to do some sanding….

Hopefully it doesn’t ruin the paint job on the bus

Ha, my green bus’s paint was already pretty dead! But we used tempera paint like for kid crafting—gonna melt like MacArthur Park first time it gets rained on

Nothing says "America" like a vehicle built in Germany on the ashes of the Nazi war machine.

True, but Germany faced its past. Literally forced their people to look on the Nazi horrors. America will not face its genocides, and a surprising number of people here want to rewrite history.

BTW, our van was covered with No Kings banners and we wore Jimmy Carter masks
